I've only just realised that a visitor has to have a font on their pc for it to be displayed on a webpage  Is there anyway I can get past this apart from stating the font used and offering it for download? I really need some advice on this.

Ya, that's what I thought but it seemed a bit to akward for frequent updating.

There is a way to do this using a special link to the font...
I've used before and worked fine, the visitors download a font (temporaly) just to the exact site that needs it...
Google it...

Just use a standard font.
Forcing visitors to download a font is annoying.

Its probably not a real font or text. It has to be flash or some other type. Unless its a image the font must be downloaded or users will get the default font like Times New Roman. I suggest making an enter page and having 2 links.
1) For the downloaded font (make a link that says to download b4 you view this page)
2) Use a normal font like Tahoma or Veranda |

How neno.tu? I know there was a way to embed it in css 2.0. If you could tell me that would be really helpful.

| If it is like that then the webpage might load a little slower than usual. I suggest making the image and saving it in jpg format with the quality set to 75 or 80. You should come out with a nice looking and fast loading image. |

Ok, you only have to wirte the css for each font you will call in the site:
ie.
| Code: | <style type="text/css">
//Creation for font HelloYOU
@font-face{
font-family: HelloYOU;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url('../fonts/HelloYou.EOT');
}
</style>
|
then you can use:
| Code: | | <font face="HelloYOU">Hi everyone!</font> |
everywhere....
You need to create a .EOT file (for IE only) to link to it, for each font, and style (bold,italic).
You can download here the font creater program: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/weft3/default.htm
Else you can use it for Netscape:
http://www.bitstream.com/
P.S.: Remmember users will have to download this font every time they visit the site, so consider to use it only when extremely necessary...
Hope it helps...
P.S.:ASHES (as you can see) I finally got the example, I used this last year for a site, but just fount it today.
